Blue Monday: Colorado Blue Birds

It is a new start to a new week, and you know what that means. It's time for Blue Monday.....and that is just what I am feeling today....a little blue. I guess it is the anticipation of another long work week.
Smiling Sally host Blue Monday every week, please be sure to check out the other participants listed on her blog. It does help to start the week off on the right track.

Today, I would like to show you the view outside of our kitchen window at the cabin. There is nothing I enjoy more in the mornings in Colorado than making a pot of coffee, and sitting at the kitchen table and watching the morning show. And I am not talking about television. These mountain blue birds are so entertaining, you can lose all track of time just watching them.

These birds come from every direction to devour any corn, bird seeds, or suet's that are thrown out by the woodpile. I tell you, television has nothing to offer compared to these guys.

It is a balancing act to get the suet out of the feeder....but hey, the birds are up for it.

Now on this particular morning, there were about 40 birds that found their way to the breakfast table. It was a sea of blue.

I call this guy the Town Cryer. Why? Well, this particular bird is the first to show up in the mornings, and once he sees the corn, or seeds, he calls the others in for their meal.....I kid you not, this guy is loud.

This is a different type of blue bird. They live in the birdhouses that we have scattered around our property. They are the most beautiful color blue. These birds do not eat the corn or seeds, they feast off of bugs in the air. I just love the colors of these birds.

Oh, here is the "Town Cryer" again, he has taken to the tops of the trees, to insure that all the birds hear his cry......breakfast is served.

Look at the bird on the left, I know he is not blue, but this is a woodpecker, and he was just so adorable. I think he was after the sweet syrup in the hummingbird feeder, but was distracted by all the commotion the blue birds were creating and he did not stay too long.

Just in case the birds are not enough morning entertainment for you, these guys offer their own type of show. They are in constant competition with the morning birds for the food. This picture qualifies for Blue Monday, because of the wood on the woodpile having some blue hues.....well, maybe not....but he is still cute.

Have a great week. Hope you enjoyed a glimpse of the scenery outside our kitchen windows at the cabin. Happy Blue Monday everyone.
